Comment: So when I run media player (with sharing enabled, I watch videos on my tv with my PS3 streaming from my PC) media player uses 100 percent resources. Even when I turn it off, the sharing program still uses 100 percent. This never happened before, do I have a virus? Thanks

Reply: Well, I found it, it was some partially incomplete files downloaded and Media Player was attempting to interpret them to no avail I guess, which was using all the brain of the computer. After disabling media sharing and deleting the files, everything was fine.

Reply: I should note that I have it working WITH sharing enabled now, so if anyone has any trouble let me know and I can walk you through it.
